Dioscorea batatas (hardy Yam)

The message
from
(Nick Maclaren) contains these words:
You might like to have a go at Stachys affinis ("Chinese artichoke").
I tried it, and it isn't bad as a nibble, but doesn't like dry
summers.
I bought some artichokes (subterranian) in a shop in Norwich, and they
were long, thumblike, rather small, and very un-knobbly.
Any idea what these were? I've saves them for planting... (When asked,
the assistant said: "Artichokes.")
Did they taste like potatos or artichokes?
